Lambley in Nottinghamshire

Visit Lambley and the surrounding villages and stay in bed & breakfast accommodation:

Lambley, Nottinghamshire, has beautiful scenery in a deep sheltered vale with the Lambley Dumble running through the village. The excellently proportioned Perpendicular Church of the Holy Trinity was built for Ralph de Cromwell, Lord High Treasurer of about 1450, who is credited with having produced the first budget. One of the wealthiest nobles of his time, he was born at Lambley in 1394 and though his body lies at the church in Tattershall, his badge of office, a purse, is carved on the outside of the east window here. Originally there was a two-storied chantry on the north wall built by the sixth Ralph Cromwell. The “squint” from its upper room is still visible in the stones of the wall.
